Z, there are different viewpoints in this country as to what "freedoms" are.

I know what your point is, but let's get one thing straight. There are three kinds of "freedom":

a) Free as in "free speech,"

b) Free as in "free beer,"

c) Free as in "free from being offended."

The Constitution guarantees (a). Too many people, however, think it also guarantees (b) and (c).

There is a universal standard for freedom: your freedoms are your right only in so far as they don't impinge on the freedoms of others.

Taking that standard, abortion is not your freedom, because it is impinging on the baby's right to life.
